Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick appears for an extensive discussion with the All In podcast. Secretary Lutnick has been a 30-year friend of President Trump and is currently one of the most critical members of the MAGAnomic team who are executing Trump’s agenda to Make America Great Again.
Secretary Lutnick outlines the background of what makes President Trump so effective in his position, and within the discussion Lutnick notes at the core of Donald Trump is “the most intuitive person he has ever known.” This is a casual discussion about President Trump and how Lutnick came into the administration.

The headline ( which is creepy) does not match the quote in the story.
I listened to this interview this morning. Absolutely fascinating! He has known Trump for 30 years and used to party together when young. If you want to know how Trump decisions are made .... this is a must listen.
I’m even more impressed with the Trump White House when I know how things happened and what will happen in the next 4 years.
My favorite line with all my anti-Trump friends and relatives? “Trump has been right about everything.” Then their blood boils.
Loved this interview by Howard L
Absolutely fascinating interview/podcast. Howard Lutnick lays out the plan to balance the budget, pay down the debt, eliminate the income tax for the first $150,000 of income, all while preserving Social Security.
For those who say the above is impossible, listen to Howard explain it. Highly believable.
Not only can it be done, the Trump administration is in the early stages of doing it.
Lutnick lays this out casually, in conversation, off the cuff. Of course, he has been working with these ideas for months. A very impressive performance.
Hope they succeed
